Deception in the Pews: Exposing the Hidden Dangers that Lurk within Religions

New Book Examines Rarely Acknowledged Psychological, Sexual, Emotional and Other Forms of Abuse by Faith Leaders and Institutions Across Religions!

CHICAGO, Illinois – December 28, 2015 – “Deception in the Pews: Exposing the Hidden Dangers that Lurk within Religions” was recently announced. In the vein of the popular movie, Spotlight, this stark new book by One Pen Inc. reveals for the first time how rarely documented incidences of abuse and betrayal permeating houses of worship worldwide are increasingly the norm regardless of specific denomination.

“Deception in the Pews: Exposing the Hidden Dangers that Lurk within Religions” intricately examines how some religious institutions – and many of those anointed to lead them – employ deceptive practices, false doctrine and more to achieve often dubious outcomes. Compiled and written by co-authors Erik Campano, Isabel Esteviz, Sheila Taylor-Downer and Robyn Williams, based on their own experience inside various American and International religious institutions.

This compelling tome discusses in-depth how the manipulation of believers threatens to tarnish and destroy not only trusted, longstanding religious institutions, but ultimately even the faith of the faithful. Featuring a series of riveting first-person victims’ testimonies, each followed by thoughtful insights, counsel and healing techniques and solutions, “Deception in the Pews: Exposing the Hidden Dangers that Lurk within Religions” takes a cautious but thorough look into the desperate world of peril and despair that far too many encounter when seeking spiritual fulfillment, salvation, camaraderie, and fellowship.

“Deception in the Pews” is a hard-hitting expose that intersects religious affiliations to uncover betrayals occurring worldwide. With straight, no-chaser testimonies of what happens when sinners walk among saints behind cross-covered doors, it explores the devastating impact on the wounded when believers turn a blind eye to the sins of those in leadership while blaming the victims.
